Introduction

This privacy policy describes the types of information The Design Boutique, Inc., may collect from you on its website, www.TheDesignBoutique.com, and the way in which we use such information. This policy also describes how you can opt out of some uses of your personal information. By using our site, you are consenting to our handling of your information as set forth in this policy.

Types of information we collect

Your personal information — your name, address, email address, and/or telephone number — is not collected by us when you visit our site unless you voluntarily provide it to us (for example, by sending us an email or registering for a newsletter or an event). If you contact us by email through the site, we may keep a record of your contact information and may use your email address, and any information you provided to us in your message, to respond to you.

You should not send sensitive or confidential information to us through this website, as such information will not necessarily be considered privileged, confidential, or subject to attorney-client privilege. Sending The Design Boutique, Inc., your personal information does not create a relationship. If you are a current client of The Design Boutique, Inc., please check with us regarding the best means of communicating your confidential information to us.

Nonpersonal information is information about you or your activities through which you cannot be personally identified, such as the type of browser and operating system you are using, the domain name of your internet service provider, which pages you visit on our site and how long you spend on each, and the unique number assigned to your server or internet connection. We may use this information for a variety of purposes, including to monitor use of and improve our site.
How we use the information we collect

We may use your personal and nonpersonal information for our own marketing and nonmarketing purposes. For example, we may use personal information to respond to your email or telephone inquiries or to advise you of upcoming events, newsletters, or legal developments. In addition, we may add your personal information to our databases, including our subscriber and contact lists.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may, however, provide your personal information to third parties that assist us with the operation or maintenance of our website or our electronic event registration. When we provide personal information to third parties, we require those parties to exercise reasonable care to protect your personal information, and we restrict the use of the information to the purposes for which it was provided.

If any or all of the assets of The Design Boutique, Inc., are acquired by or merged with another entity, we will share some or all of your information with such entity.

Security

Although we employ security measures that we believe are reasonable in order to protect your personal information, we do not guarantee that our security precautions will protect against the loss or misuse of your personal information.

Other websites and cosponsored events

Our site may contain links to other websites. Such a link is not an endorsement of that third party and/or its site. Other websites may follow different rules regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information, and we are not responsible for the information collection or privacy practices of others. We may provide information on our site about programs and events that are sponsored or cosponsored by other organizations. If you register for any of these events, we may have no control of the third-party sponsor’s use of your personal information.
